Abstract:

Litters offered a concentrated milk replacer
and the vitamin amino acid, iron-electrolyte
supplement, weighed the same as control litters at day 10, 14, 21, and 28. Blood analysis revealed no difference in packed cell volume, hemoglobin, or plasma protein between litters offered the supplement and control litters. Survival rate from birth to weaning favored the control litters (93.9 or 85.3%), however all nineteen litters used
in this study were healthy with very little scours observed.
